Subject: Second screen API and working group 

 

A second screen working group is being chartered.  I wanted to find out if there has been any connection with this group (or community group) in regards to accessibility.  Perhaps accessibility of these second screens is less an issue about the API and more about the user agents – but it is something we could keep on the radar.  Is there anything related to accessibility that you think should be included in a charter? For example, second screens can be interactive and not just passive devices.  People using assistive technology such as touch screen AT interact with the device with more than just the pointer location.
